Tesco Value Wheat Biscuits

Wheat Biscuits ******************** Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day. It's the fuel to get you started in the morning, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. But the benefits of breakfast doesn't end there, it apparently starts off your metabolism, so helps your body eat away at those calories. Most breakfast cereals are quite filling, because they contain huge amounts of carbohydrates. This allows them to stop the hunger pains, and makes an ideal snack. Having said all this, l shall confess, l am not a great breakfast eater. I usually wake up feeling nauseous so facing food in the morning is a no-no. But ...  Read the complete review

The value range at Tesco is normally full of very cheap, but decent products in boring / cheap looking package. As a university student, I am always looking for ways to save money, and would never snub a Tesco Value product on branding alone. I have tried many Tesco Value products and most recently Tesco Value Wheat Biscuits, which are obviously the Tesco Value version of Wheetabix. Description At 75p for 36 biscuits (only 2p per biscuit!),it looks to be amazing value, so I picked up a box. When I opened the packet I found that the biscuits are smaller than a Wheetabix despite being rectangular rather than the normal oval shape. The grain is much ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a great fan of Weetabix and have recently tried both the Asda and the Tesco own brand ones and thought that they were both equally as good as Weetabix. When I was last in Tesco's I noticed that they also had a Tesco Value version so I decided to try those as well, thus saving even more money! First of all let's go through what exactly is available at Tesco in the wheat biscuit line! The choice is currently as follows: Tesco Value Wheat Biscuits 36 for 80p = 2.2p per biscuit Tesco Wheat Biscuits 24 for £1.15 = 4.8p per biscuit Tesco Light Choices Wheat Biscuits 48 for £2.15 = 4.5p per biscuit Weetabix which cost £1.78 ...  Read the complete review

As anyone who read my earlier review of Tesco Bran Flakes will know, I'm quite a fan of them, in fact I will rave on to anybody about how good they are, whether they are remotely interested or not! So I bought Tesco Value Wheat Biscuits (shhhh! Don't call them Weetabix!) with high expectations. As they are from the value range, the first thing to mention is the price. Currently Tesco.com is selling at 80p for a box of 36 biscuits, which is bargainous by anyone's standards. However it is worth noting that the biscuits are smaller than a certain leading brand's, so 36 biscuits isn't quite as much as you might think. That said, the product can't really be faulted ...  Read the complete review

The main differences between Tesco Value Wheat Biscuits and Weetabix are the price, the size and the addition of vitamins and minerals (to the Weetabix). Price ------ The Value biscuits cost a mere 75p for 36 biscuits. Weetabix biscuits cost £1.66 for 24 biscuits. I think that this is quite a difference and if you are doing a thrifty shop - I do not see how you can justify buying the more expensive brand. Size ----- The Tesco Value Biscuits are slightly smaller than the chunkier Weetabix. This means that if you use two biscuits for your breakfast there may be slightly less in your bowl. This is perhaps only ...  Read the complete review
